Wright Mills is considered a standard on the subject of the new middle class in twentieth-century America. This landmark volume demonstrates how the conditions and styles of middle class life--originating from elements of both the newer lower and\u003cbr\u003eupper classes--represent modern society as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e By examining white-collar life, Mills aimed to learn something about what was becoming more typically \"American\" than the once-famous Western frontier character. He painted a picture instead of a society that had evolved into a business-based milieu, viewing America instead as a great\u003cbr\u003esalesroom, an enormous file, and a new universe of management.\u003cbr\u003e Russell Jacoby, author of \u003cem\u003eThe End of Utopia\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Last Intellectuals\u003c\/em\u003e, contributes a new Afterword to this edition, in which he reflects on the impact \u003cem\u003eWhite Collar\u003c\/em\u003e had at its original publication and considers what it means to our society today.\u003cbr\u003e \"A book that persons of every level of the white collar pyramid should read and ponder.
